The Port Arthur Little Theatre is a non-profit organization created more than 50 years ago to promote an interest in the performing arts, encourage local talent and improve the standard of public taste in drama. A 14-member board of directors sets goals for PALT, selects the slate of plays for each season, sets performance dates and organizes membership and fund-raising drives. The theater is staffed entirely by volunteers and all funds go toward the production of plays, theater maintenance and operation and long-term improvement projects.
